I agree it’s a nice word, but it’s the same energy to laugh at people for being old because they don’t know what it means.

I mean it looks like the private internal memos regarding the Soviet incident were released in 1992, so this is not propaganda. Or if it were it'd make the USSR look better, not really bad.

Pretty sure they're talking about school shootings, which have been totally normalised in the USA, and arguably now as core a part of USAnian culture as apple pie or baseball.

Paris is much nicer than Twitter. If I had to choose which to keep, I'd pick Paris over some shit social media platform.

Believe it or don't, newspapers report on things which cannot be immediately verified all the time. Get over it.

It's unique to the German scene and I live in Berlin, I understand the scene thank you. Germany is unique in how predisposed with the superficial its "alternative" scene is, without any doubt. Spend less time in Germany les

Very difficult to imagine you would notice in the middle of a night club who around you does and doesn't know the lineup for the night. Amusing to think about, though. Next time try to enjoy the music and don't worry so much abou

Opera houses in general aren't elitist or selective at all. You can turn up looking like shit no problem, I certainly have. They're just happy that people have come along to enjoy the music. So actually these places are many ti

The German "underground" scene is just completely backwards and childish. They're so forward thinking and advanced that they've wrapped right around having experienced some sort of integer overflow and started caring de

Everyone lies but it's irrelevant when motivating fraud, since not all lies are the same.

I don't understand why every other submission on the internet has to have at least one "stopped reading at X" comment relating to it. It adds absolutely nothing.

The housing problem in the UK is so much more than simply homelessness. Bad location, shit quality, low density, small, expensive, leasehold, nothing being built...

by twixfel 3y ago
The UK has very few empty homes compared to peer countries, though. We have very little spare capacity, we need to actually build more homes.

Borders are a relatively new concept and nations existed before borders so what you're saying is trivially false. The US was built on unchecked migration and it did pretty well out of it.

I suppose it is perfectly rational for you to want a Jewish state, and you have one now and I do not wish to argue that it should end and clearly it has its benefits for people who are Jewish. I only take issue with the way in which it was

A wonderful excuse that German people like to wheel out to try to put a positive spin on being stuck in the 20th century.

No, it really is bad. I've lived in the UK and in Germany and Germany is definitely worse. I don't know why you would have such an opinion on something that you, by your own admission, know nothing about. If anything the opposit

The Palestinians were/are already there. The Israelis have as much right to that land as modern day Anglo-Saxons (i.e. English people) have to North-West Germany and Jutland, i.e., none. Having said that, just as I support the contin

It's not clear to me that we need to talk to each other like we're talking to our own children. That would be odd.

Truly stable countries don’t have attempted coups at all, then, if you really insist on being pedantic.

Truly stable countries don't have coups at all. A coup of any kind is a sign of instability.

Well yeah most people are obviously referring to relative decline, I'm surprised you even needed that explaining to you, unless you thought that Argentina really might actually be poorer today in real terms than it was in the year 1900

Exactly, the universities are extremely wealthy and could in principle choose to use that money to increase intake, but then it dilutes their status as a luxury brand, so they don't do it. But what business is it of the university to

To be honest I'm so baffled by the idea that the US has better worker's rights than the UK that I scarcely know where to begin. For what it's worth, Sweden and Denmark do not have minimum wages even today. So no, it's n
